SILVER SPRING TOWNSHIP -- A female passenger in a four vehicle crash on Friday in Silver Spring Township was killed and a male driver was flown by helicopter to the hospital, according to Pennsylvania State Police, Carlisle.

According to police, three tractor trailer trucks and a Chevy Tahoe SUV were involved in the crash.

At approximately 4:10 p.m., the crash occurred at mile marker 57 northbound on Interstate 81 when traffic began to slow due a traffic backlog and the third tractor trailer was unable to slow down in time and hit the SUV, pushing it into the rear of the tractor trailer ahead and then impacted the trailer ahead of him, causing a chain reaction, according to police.
